Chapter 251.1

Chapter 251 . 1 – Criticize Harshly

Random weapons . This had been a troll move he’d employed two years ago when he’d still been extremely childish . To experts that were exceedingly balanced in all aspects of combat, opting for randomization wasn’t considered much . But when up against a genuine expert, choosing it again and again was an exceedingly senseless decision . No one could truly achieve all-roundedness in every aspect of combat . After two years consolidating his skills, Casio himself was all too clear about where his strengths and shortcomings lay . In the end, what he excelled at was still close-combat .

But for this match, he definitely needed to choose random weapons!

He had watched the match between All-Mouthy King and Divian and had indeed accepted that the Infinite Slash Rotation wasn’t something that could be blocked with brute strength . If his opponent actually did get crosswheels via randomization again, then Casio would only have a 20 odd percent chance of winning, regardless of what weapon he obtained . But if his opponent didn’t get that weapon, then with his opponent’s soul power standards as well as close-combat capabilities displayed in the more recent performances, Casio felt he could completely smash All-Mouthy King apart!

He had more-or-less analyzed each move his opponent could make . Regardless of whether it were ranged or close combat, one could frankly say that the entire arsenal of All-Mouthy King’s moves could be rounded up to a few core skills .

Since he had chosen randomization, regardless of what he himself got he would definitely have the advantage in this match .

With his victory, he would be able to acquire incomparable fame and prestige . Not only would he soar inside his academy, he would also be able to seize a decisive chance to shine in the CHF . He might even be able to attract the attention of the OP officials, thus landing a position in the quasi-sanctuary division . That would truly be a heaven-sent gift .

From the looks of it now, he had truly made the right bet . While crescent-moon blades weren’t very powerful, he just so happened to be the type to excel the most at close-combat . His opponent was also one who had gotten Molok’s Battle Axe via randomization . Other than directly throwing it away and using his fist, there was no other choice left for All-Mouthy King .

Battlefield: Ancient Coliseum Arena .

This circular arena had a diameter of less than 100 meters . No other decoration surrounded the space . It was one of the most commonly seen dueling battlefields available, with victory and defeat reliant on one’s strength .

Currently, Wang Zhong was also making observations about his opponent . This Casio fellow before him didn’t seem weak, and instead he exuded a dominative presence similar to Divian’s .

With a single look at how his opponent held his weapons, Wang Zhong noted he was someone who trained in every aspect of fighting from the foundations to actual combat . That familiar grip on his weapons, the way his fingers relaxed as he held the handle, the way he made it seem as though those crescent-moon blades could be thrown with a single twitch, as well as the way he wielded them nimbly and agily .

Casio theorized the best way to break through All-Mouthy King’s style wouldn’t be through ranged attacks, but through the front . He was exceedingly clear about how those crosswheels could dominate everything beneath the heavens in a ranged battle . Thus, his only option was close-combat, which he excelled at the most .

“It’s best if you just toss that superfluous weapon away . You aren’t my match otherwise . I don’t wanna hear a pile of excuse after you lose . ” Casio spoke in a slightly ridiculing fashion as he gazed at All-Mouthy King .

He wanted to bully All-Mouthy king . People who climbed to this level loved and cherished their fame and reputation . If he could bully All-Mouthy King into tossing Molok’s Battle Axe, then his chances of victory would jump from 70-80 percent all the way to 100 percent . That was a 360 kg burden, so Casio didn’t feel it would give much results . Even a pig wouldn’t use it in such a match .

As his words rang out, the originally clamouring and bustling viewing gallery turned silent . Everyone could clearly interpret the meaning behind those words . All that was left was to see what choice All-Mouthy King would make .

Those unspoken words were too conspicuous!

“Haha! What contestant Casio said isn’t wrong . In fact, I wanted to say those words from the start!” Ruo Zhi smiled as he continued, “A weapon should be thrown away for the advantage . That’s the true value in choosing randomized weapons . ”

This breezy way of insulting and mocking immediately created a huge wave in the audience . One really had to admit that Brother Ruo Zhi perfect the art of toying with his audience’s emotions . At the same time, the OP group’s revenue would definitely increase by 10-20 percent . Humans always tossed more money when faced with increased emotional heights .

“That’s a 360 kg Molok’s Battle Axe…” Scarlet frowned as she watched the OP match via a large broadcasting screen . She just so happened to be heading over to find Laura at the Wild Beast Society with Barran when she suddenly received a notice about All-Mouthy King’s match . When she entered, she found everyone had already gathered to watch and simply pulled Barran along to join them .

Right now she wasn’t exactly a Brother King fan . Instead, it had been that night when Wang Zhong defeated Cecil that prompted her to pay more attention to him . She had assumed his words that night were a joke, but after witnessing the might of his crosswheels which dominated the heavens, she had a feeling he may not have lied to her after all…

In the past, she had a mere favourable impression of Wang Zhong . Time passed, however, and she found her impressions fermenting and growing beneath the constant teasing Milami did each day . Not only that, the time she spent caring for him in the hospital after the group training created a more relaxed and casual relationship than before .

Then there was the time when he chose to walk forward and save the desperate situation plaguing Tianjing Academy and her grandfather . Withstanding the bullying displayed by Adolf Academy made Scarlet understand she truly like this boy . Within her admiration, that slight feeling of love was something extremely sweet for her .

But Scarlet could also feel that Wang Zhong lacked similar feelings toward her . This made her extremely worried that once she revealed her feelings, the tacit trust and understanding between them would break . Of course, only if that happened .

Everyone else in the special class had already thrown down their training and gathered to watch the match . Casio was definitely one of the famous figures in the upcoming CHF, and he would also be a match for All-Mouthy King . Leo, Paul, and the other captains payed close attention as Casio was from an extremely famous quadron in the western area . The possibility of them meeting in a match in the future was high . Right now, no one cared about the presence of Scarlet and Barran .

☀

All-Mouthy King really did seem to have been ‘checkmated’ by Casio . In answer, he extended his hand toward the incomparably large battle axe in front of him .

Ceng~~Bang…

A moment later, the battle axe which had been stuck into the ground was suddenly hoisted up into the air with a flourish from All-Mouthy King .

Its incomparable sharp axe head had left a deep groove in the ground .

The instant it rested on his shoulder, Wang Zhong felt his entire body sink down . The ground below him even seemed about to shatter from the weight .

Did he really have to do this?

This was All-Mouthy King! How could they forget the scene where he used the might of his fleshly body to blast Kostan apart! Everyone had forgotten that All-Mouthy King was still a true close-combat soldier with terrifying strength!

“Brother King’s got godly strength!”

“Fuck! He can even hoist Molok’s Battle Axe up! Is he even human?”

“Brother King’s gonna insta-kill him!”

The emotions of all his fans surged as they roared and cheered . It was very clear that this group didn’t blindly worship their idol . Even freshmen had some slight judgemental abilities .

“Indeed, All-Mouthy King still has his usual self-confidence . He genuinely wants to try out the weapons given to him via randomization . Molok’s Battle Axe is a part of the Battle Axe City Defense Team . This is the first time I’ve ever seen a soldier use it in combat . ” Chen Yu’er spoke with extreme delight . On one hand, she felt All-Mouthy King was extremely courageous to do something no able-minded person would do . On the other hand, she really wished to see him use such a giant weapon . That would be an extremely overbearing sight .

“Haha . Little Yu’er, if All-Mouthy King gave up on the weapon, then I would actually view him with greater regard . Fame is just fame . This weapon is completely different from the crosswheels and is entirely unsuitable for even soldiers to use . Casio was just using mind tricks against All-Mouthy King . Did you really think he’d accept that proposal without question?” said Ruo Zhi .

Chen Yu’er really wasn’t an expert on squeezing people . Why did Ruo Zhi have to explain the reasoning behind every point he made?

Ruo Zhi successfully drew in hate time and time again .

The current number of people watching via skylink had already broken 500,000, which was abnormally terrifying . This could already be considered a miracle within the OP . And this number didn’t take into account the fact that most would be watching in groups, thus increasing this count by a lot .

But at this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the match . They didn’t have enough spare space for other thoughts .

Smiling faintly, Casio began whirling the two crescent-moon blades in his hands . What an easy bluff . I really have overestimated his intellect .

All of this was just an act . He just hoisted up Molok’s Battle Axe and placed it on his shoulder . Any elite soldier could achieve such a feat . But holding a weapon and using it were two completely different matters . Those using that weapon would have tortoise-like attacks . He could dodge those swings with his eyes closed .
